Lucky win fails to hide Liverpool shortcomings

QPR 2 Liverpool 3

Two agonising own goals — the second, most painfully from QPR’s point of view, coming in the fifth minute of added time — ensured Liverpool secured a much needed three points but victory barely disguised the deficiencies in Brendan Rodgers’s team.

Richard Dunne and Steven Caulker were the fall-guys, with Dunne’s sliced attempted clearance gifting Liverpool an undeserved 68th lead and Caulker’s unfortunate error capping a dizzying burst of four goals in the game’s final eight minutes.
